Now that most of us (knowing that some students were stuck in the dorms over break) had the chance to get some good ol’ home-cooked meals in our systems, we should be fueled up and ready to finish out the semester.  But, if you are like me and have a tendency to overdose on turkey and not enough on the other stuff, getting motivated to get through the final few weeks is a hard task.  

However, Jack Frost is reminding us with that frigid nip in the air that getting through these next three weeks means two things: winter break and presents!  If you’re still nursing your turkey overdose and need to find some activities to do, here is what you missed when you didn’t read the digest.

Auditions for “Wiley and the Hairy Man”
Admit it, when you were younger, at some point you stood in front of your mirrors and pretended that you were some famous actor or actress in some big fancy production that made you millions upon millions of dollars.  Fast forward a few years to reality, and you come to find you never realized your dream of staring in some big show. Luckily, UWS has the amazing University Theater, which is hosting auditions for its next performance “Wiley and the Hairy Man.”  The auditions are being held this December 8 and 9 in Manion Theater in HFAC; the play will be performed in February.  

Office of International Programs Annual Holiday Party
Who doesn’t love going to a party? The Office of International Programs is throwing a holiday party in which all students are welcome to attend! The event, which is going to be catered by the University’s very own A’ viands, will also play host to none other than the big jolly man himself, Santa Clause!  The party will be held Friday, December 11 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Multicultural Center in Old Main and will continue afterwards at Bentleyville Tour of Lights in Downtown Duluth.

Stimulus Club Movie Night “Sicko”
Whether you have healthcare or you don’t have healthcare, the healthcare debate in our country has some sort of effect on everyone.  The Stimulus Club wants to know what you think.  The club will be hosting the documentary “Sicko” by Michael Moore this December 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kathryn Ohman Theater with free admission and popcorn.  After the film, the club invites people to an open discussion.  Healthcare is a huge issue, not only in the United States but also globally, so get out there and get informed!
